Jeff;
I guess that he was a Chebby guy who didn't know what they are worth. You
can buy a complete, rebuilt, longblock from P.A.W for $4500 or so, without
having to chuck out a body afterward. Why people would destroy a perfectly
good car for the Hemi is beyond me when half of them are sitting in the back
corner of someone's garage collecting dust until they decide to part with
them. I have seen rebuilt 392's for around $2500 to $3500 (many with speed
parts), rebuildable cores for considerably less. In many people's opinion
the 354 is a better engine anyway as it has a shorter, stiffer block. I
honestly think that many out there think that the 392's are the smaller
brother to the famous 426 racing Hemi when in reality it's an ancestor, and
a heavy one at that. Check out Power Play Hemi's ad pages if you are looking
for one, or Hemmings, they are out there.

Subject: IML: Re:Value of a complete 1957 392 Hemi motor only
Hi,
I know a guy who spent $3000 for a 57 Imp which he
bought solely for the motor and sold the 57 shell off
for $600.
Now it was a running driving car which had around
100,000 miles on the engine and his first plan was to
rebuild the 392.
So based on that, I would say $2400.
